I don't have a problem with Mr. McGann as an actor. The reason why I think he failed as The Doctor was for the simple fact that the character had become Americanised. As I said earlier, the TV Movie was (to my mind) too similar to an episode of 'The X-Files'
Where 'Doctor Who' had once been a leader, it had now become a follower!

I have mixed feelings about Mr. McCoy being in the movie. On one hand, I agree it was good to see him as the character again, and a proper regeneration scene, but on the other hand, I think the regeneration scene was a huge mistake
It's been stated that a casual viewer, who didn't know the history of the show, found it confusing when the person playing the Doctor suddenly disappeared, and someone totally different appeared as the character without any real explaination
